The sleeper chair is plenty big for a full grown adult. My 6'3" son sleeps in ours from time to time.The AKV villas are great! I would be concerned about the length of the sleeper chair in a 1br for a tall adult.
Have you considered staying offsite? You could stay very close to WDW in a 2 or 3 bedroom timeshare or condo at a fraction of the price. Uber woukd very convenient if your kids wanted a different schedule.
In the past my family of 4 stayed at the various WDW resorts in one standard room. However after many years away from WDW, my twin sons are now 20 years old and I need advice where to stay. I would like a room with one queen and 2 twin beds and prefer AK or the YC/BC area. I could do adjoining rooms however hoping to find a large room without the expense of a huge suite.
Thanks.
Sorry I cannot help with suggestions, especially not knowing the heights of the boys. Why I'm posting is simply to say that I remember as a child the queen/double + two twin configurations were very common for family rooms. I'm not sure when this changed to two queens/doubles but my family would be similarly stuck these days with siblings that would not have shared the second queen.
That's good to know! My DD will often sleep in the sleeper chair or the murphy bed at DVC resorts but she's just 5"4.The sleeper chair is plenty big for a full grown adult. My 6'3" son sleeps in ours from time to time.
All beach club rooms (and boardwalk I think), among others, have two queens and the back of the couch folds down into a twin. It is really comfortable. My husband slept on it one night last summer when one of the kids fell asleep with me. I wouldn't splurge on a second room for 4 people. Plus - BC is so close to Epcot, HA, and the boardwalk, there is always something to do and somewhere to go.
Is this something new (that all BC rooms have the daybed)? My belief was that not all Epcot resort rooms have the extra bed (it's only a request) which is why our family sadly has outgrown the BC. We had many, many great years of staying there (Epcot resorts are awesome location), but the daybed is simply a must for us now that our kids are a bit older.
If it's the Epcot resort area you really want (which I don't blame you, especially with the ages of your kids and Espn Club being right there too!), then maybe price out a deluxe room which I believe would be club level which would be a GREAT perk for your family make-up (extra space in the lounge to spread out).
Also, I know nothing about Swan and Dolphin except that they are located right in the Epcot resort loop. Maybe those rooms have a daybed to give you 3 beds?
If none of that works out, I'll bet your sons would like CR or Poly, and you'd be guaranteed a daybed in those rooms. If you had two 20-year old GIRLS, then I'd think twice about all sharing one bathroom (lol), but with boys and the larger size of these monorail deluxes, I'm pretty sure you'd be just fine.
When they renovated the rooms at BC every room got a daybed, from what I read.
We were in a room with no daybed in January. The renovation did not include a daybed for each room. The room configurations at BC are not standard and there are many rooms where the size precludes a daybed. We always request a daybed and our luck is running about 50/50.
We always have five people booked on the reservation. I've never requested the daubed, but always have had it. If you are worried you can make it your primary request. I believe most of the rooms accommodate 5.

Probably because I'm Australian. Maybe it is that we've become more American with many international hotel chains here these days so they're probably bringing the North American standard here.Where did you see this? In the US? I am 54 years old and have never seen this. 2 full beds or 2 queen beds has always been the norm. If the 2 twin beds were not bunked a room with 1 larger bed and 2 twin beds would have to be huge, 2 twin beds together take up as much space as a kind sized bed.
